Fellow chief petty officers congratulate the newly pinned CPOs during the fiscal year 2012 Chief Petty Officer pinning ceremony at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Sept. 16. Eight sailors received their gold anchors at Camp Lemmonier, following six weeks of challenging CPO induction. Advancement to CPO not only carries requirements of time in service, superior evaluation scores, and specialty examinations, but also carries an added requirement of peer review. Camp Lemonnier hosts the Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa, under command of U.S. Africa Command, which conducts civil and non-combatant military operations in East Africa aimed to enhance partner-nation capacity, promote regional stability and dissuade potential local conflict.
